Meletis, the God of Revenge

The god of revenge in the Korinthian Pantheon. A bloodthirsty god seeking his pound of flesh or more when getting his revenge. He stands for what justice can’t do, and will happily kill those that have wronged another. He is a bitter deity, prone to mood swings and fits of violence.

Worshippers
Aside from a handful of scattered temples, the church of Meletis is composed primarily of lone wanderers who travel the world, agreeing to pray for Meletis' aid on behalf of those who seek or fear vengeance, in exchange for a small fee. Charlatans who try to scam people in this manner quickly felt the punishment of Meletis. His followers seek out victims of injustice, hear and appraise their stories, and track down the perpetrators in order to inflict a fitting form of punishment. No injustice is too small or too large for revenge to be sought and a fitting punishment meted out, earning the church of Meletis the ire of town watches and Oreskians alike as well as the adulation of the downtrodden.

If one wants to seek vengeance on another by praying to Meletis, it is believed that writing prayers down made them more likely to be answered. To ensure a long-lasting reach for prayers, some vengeance seekers carve them into items made of lead. These are then buried to keep others from knowing about them.

Temples to Meletis are rare, and usually found in antique parts of Unther.
